Town Holding.: Digest of Evidence. (Cassell and Co.) — Messrs. Cassell and

Co. have published the second volume of their interest-

ing work, which gives in a convenient and condensed form the evidence, particularly the provincial evidence, that has been taken on the important subject of ground-rents and cognate topics, by the Select Committee appointed on February 10th, 1888. It may be noted that one very important point, that of the damage which will be done to corporations, municipal, eleemosynary, and educational, by certain proposed legislation, has been more fully illustrated in the evidence of 1888 than in that of previous years.
